On-chain data shows the number of Bitcoin sharks has continued to increase recently, but the whale count on the network has hit stagnation.<\/p>\n
According to data from the on-chain analytics firm Santiment<\/a>, the number of whales on the Bitcoin blockchain has observed a slight decline during the last couple of months.<\/p>\n The relevant indicator here is the “Supply Distribution<\/a>,” which measures the total number of addresses that belong to each of the wallet groups on the network.<\/p>\n The addresses are divided into these “wallet groups” on the basis of the total amount of BTC that they are carrying in their balances right now. In the context of the current discussion, there are four such cohorts that are of interest: 0-0.01 coins, 0.01-1 coins, 1-100 coins, and 100+ coins.<\/p>\n Naturally, an address belonging to any of these groups would have its balance inside the range of the group in question. So if the Supply Distribution is applied to these cohorts, it would tell us (among other things) the total number of addresses on the chain that satisfy the respective conditions.<\/p>\n Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin Supply Distribution for each of these four cohorts since the start of the year:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The first of these groups, the 0-0.01 coins range, signifies the small retail holders of the market. From the above graph, it’s visible that these investors haven’t changed in number much lately as their Supply Distribution curve has been moving sideways over the past seven weeks. This would suggest that adoption among small investors isn’t rising for the cryptocurrency at the moment.<\/p>\nLooks like only one of these metrics has continued to constantly grow in recent days | Source: Santiment on Twitter<\/a><\/pre>\n
